As tends to be the case when any footballer puts anything about any subject on social media, many of the comments were a combination of jibberish and odd abuse.

In fairness to Terry, Fabregas' shorts ARE definitely a bit on the… er, 'skimpy' side.

Mind you, JT's message does not appear to have been purely about banter, banter, banter.

The 'Thomas Royall' mentioned in his comment isn't some mutual friend of the two Chelsea players - it is actually the name of a luxury swimwear brand the former England captain has been promoting on Instagram this summer.
